#IHMC2024 in Rome starts tomorrow! Come and lets have a chat on the role of widely used hormonal contraceptives on the female gut microbiome. My poster is up on the 25th of June at 8.30 to 9.30. Poster nr 541.
When my "gut feeling" becomes a final paper for my PhD! Using carefully selected FMT donors from #EstMB, we show that repeated antibiotics use in the past => weaker mucus layer + increase in mucus degraders (Akkermansia muciniphila, Bacteroides fragilis + others)🧵

Happy International Day of Women & Girls in Science!
It's a real honor to be a part of such amazing work team with amazing female role models 👩���#WomenInScience
International Day of Women and Girls in Science at Institute of Genomics, University of Tartu! 👩🔬 We are proud that more than 50% of our researchers are female!
The world needs science and science needs women! #WomenInScience
New GWAS on height is the biggest genetics study to date with 5.4 million individuals 😯
The top ~12k genetic variants explain ~40% of individual differences in Europeans, and 10-20% in other ancestries.

"The aim of our study was to test whether the gut #microbiome is associated with #PCOS in late fertile age women including age- and #BMI-matched controls." #JCEM https://t.co/VpniuBOBox
Happy to announce that the paper from @mibiogen consortium is out in @NatureGenet. It was fantastic to be working together with great scientists from >20 research groups. Looking forward to future collaboration on #microbiome. Special thanks to @AKurilshikov for driving this work
Out now from @SashaZhernakova@AKurilshikov and colleagues:
Large-scale association analyses identify host factors influencing human gut microbiome composition | https://t.co/0Bncw0LFPS
Our genome-wide study of penicillin allergy in @ESTbiobank@uk_biobank and #BioVU & replication in @23andMe identified associations with HLA-B*55:01 and PTPN22. The GWAS results also correlated with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriasis. Now online @AJHGNews https://t.co/mgbf8x4zbk
To know or not to know? Study participants of Estonian biobank appreciate knowing of having high risk for breast, ovarian or prostate cancer after being counselled and directed to the oncologist appointment.(1/2) https://t.co/RBWgixrDFG
The MiBioGen consortium paper on the effect of host genetics on the gut microbiome composition is now online on Bioarchive. Happy and proud to work on this project in close collaboration with >20 research groups all over the world. https://t.co/MGP2CIRPUT
As of today, there are 404 confirmed cases of the #coronavirus disease in #Estonia; 28 people have been hospitalised, seven are in intensive care and five are in a critical condition. https://t.co/YkbZfX68zz via @estonianworld
A great review on the causal role of the gut #microbiome.
"Currently, there seems to be a wishful thinking that the microbiome contributes to the most diseases and pathological processes, no matter how complex their etiology is"
